How to Keep a Vintage Memory Fine Tuned

Our brain’s ability to process information slows down as we get older; it’s just a fact of life. Your long-term memory stays intact, though, and your understanding of what you already know is greater. Some things to help retain your power to learn and recall are:

Reduce your stress level.

Improve your blood circulation — exercise!

Correct any reduction in your hearing or eyesight.

Push your temporal lobes into more activity. For example, listen to lectures and discuss them afterward.
